Tuilagi was Irrelevant against us in the minimum time he had on the field
But He has been Impressive over all this season for the tigers
He does have potential and the Tigers did want to keep him but we offered him a longer contract

Seen very little of Tuilagi but think that he would have the makings and attributes of a good standard back rower . Sure that Des will be able to get his work rate up at Manly and bring out his best . Davey was playing some good footy at the Eels previously and unquestionably has put in for Manly when he has been available Just got an inkling yesterday however that maybe not that previous whole hearted effort there . Could be over reading it but would be uncharacteristic if the case and certainly hope that he can still make a really good contribution for the rest of his Manly stint .

Tui is a middle player. I’d give Ben T some game time in back row. Although, DCE back means Schu will probably move to an edge.

From what I've read yes, 2 year deal
I expecting big things from Tuilagi in 2023.
I'm hoping for big things from Tuilagi next year, hope he surpasses my expectation based on what I've seen from him so far, Davey has been a great role model on and off field.

Irrelevant except for the try assist?

At who's expense you think?
Looked like Haumoli and Tuilagi were close at the end of the game. Going over to Tongan supporters for selfies.
I saw it as just chain passing and he was at the end of it before the try
No line break . No holding off tackles , No cut out pass . Just a simple chain pass

I see him replacing Davey. He and Guacca 'should' be the second rowers and hopefully will complement one another. From what I've seen Burbo is a reasonable defender and a runner. He doesn't smash up opposition like Guacca. Tuilagi plays like Guacca, and I wonder how two such attacking second rowers would go when we are defending.
Burbo is particularly valuable because he can play in the centres when an injury to a back happens, like Garner from the Tuggers.

That is [ or was ] most likely the intention on signing him but if the case , sure hope that Josh [ Schuster ] can show a bit more composure as a 6 next season . Really like Burbo for his ability and utility value but would not discount Bullemor to develop into a good level backrower or middle quite soon .
He doesn't, but I sure hope he does, hopefully he tries to be as good as Mole

Bullemor has been a disappointment. I, too, thought he was a backrower of great potential but it turns out he is a front rower of average ability. If he can't star in the Workers' team then it seems our optimism at his signing was misguided.

I’m hoping it’s just because he’s with 16 other underwhelming Tigers.But he did look a little lacking in effort today
